Classic French pastries executed flawlessly (with prices to match). There is no dine in space, grab and go only. Pro tip -- arrive a few minutes before opening time. A long line forms quickly.

Hipster boutique hotel with an incredible veranda for outside eating and cool cocktail bar inside. Spanish tapas and high end cocktails. Reservations recommended. We can suggest the lamb chops, asparagus with romesco sauce, and beet salad. The martinis are great, although it’s fair to say the entire cocktail menu looked interesting. Walkable from our house.
